Jim and Elisabeth Elliot; Two Lives Devoted to God and Each Other

Ruth Adams October 15, 2021 No Comments

I grew up reading their story in books, hearing her voice on the radio, and even seeing her speak in person once. My life has been greatly impacted by the legacy and testimony of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot. As a wife and mother I have often drawn strength from the writings of Elisabeth Elliot as I am sure many of you have as well.

Legacy Homeschool Reflections Podcast 153: Interview with Valerie Shephard (Part 1)

It was a great joy to interview Jim and Elisabeth Elliot’s daughter Valerie Shephard and hear her tell the story of her parents’ devotion to God and to each other. Valerie is the mother of eight grown children and the author of the book Devotedly which tells the love story of her parents. I know you will enjoy hearing this inspiring testimony of what God did through the lives of two people whose hearts were completely devoted to Him.

May we never underestimate what God can do in and through our families if we too will live our lives completely and totally devoted to His Lordship.

Passing on a Legacy of Faith and Family Discipleship

Ruth Adams August 30, 2021 No Comments

Welcome back, Friends! On this week’s episode of “The Legacy Homeschool Reflections Podcast” I am talking about passing on a legacy of faith through home education. The world around us is in chaos, but we have an anchor for our soul in Jesus Christ. Let’s keep focused on the mission He has given us within the walls of our own homes. His Word and His promises do not fail, and He can be trusted even in troublesome times. May the Lord bless you until we meet again.

Encouragements for a New Homeschool Year

Ruth Adams August 23, 2021 No Comments

Hello Friends! This year we graduated our second child from our homeschool. Two years ago we graduated our oldest child, so it feels like the domino effect has begun with launching our young people into adulthood. I stand in awe as I remember my own homeschool experience and process the fact that I now have two homeschool graduates. Together we stand as first and second generation homeschool graduates. We give praise to the Lord as it is all of Him and not of us.

Legacy Homeschool Reflections Podcast 151: Encouragement for a New Homeschool Year

On this episode of the podcast I take a look back and share some things that I think are so very important to the homeschooling journey. There are no perfect formulas, but the Lord will guide each of our families as we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.

Thank you for listening and may the Lord be with you until we meet again.

Today’s podcast is all about the upcoming release of The Word Study Scripture Writing Journal Volume II coming very soon!
